Nick. Nick. Operation Yewtree police arrest Jim Davidson OBE

OPERATION Yewtree has called in two more names (total so far: nine). The Met police’s trawl for alleged historial sex abuse by Jimmy Savile and others has led to the arrest of a 53-year-old man from Hampshire and a 59-year-old man in west London. Both have been arrested on suspicion of sexual offences.

One of the men is Jim Davidson. Nick. Nick. It was the Tory-loving comic and Freemason who wrote on his blog:

“Who’s next to be the victim of a media feeding frenzy? I have the answer to that. But, like Jimmy Savile, it’s only rumours. But when these ­rumours come out… WOW!”

And:

“A bloke who’s a loner, dresses and acts like a nonce and thinks he is the most important person in the world. Hmmm. I knew… and didn’t do anything. Mind you, I had no proof. To me he was just another pervert. There are lots of them in showbiz.

“There seems to be more gay ones than straight but that’s because there are probably more gays in showbiz than most professions.”

And:

“The Savile witch hunt is going a bit silly now. We all are starting to speculate and accuse … even in jest. So no, I don’t know who’s next. Well, if I was in the pub with the lads it would be a different story. Everyone has had the nod. Everyone is an expert. Just pick someone you don’t like and say it’s them…

I think most of them with money will have given up on the injunction route by now – it has been proved to be completely useless against internet distribution of information. You are right though – they mentioned that 2 people had been arrested yesterday, but today they have only named Jim Davidson….
